Thank goodness that's over with!

Ok... we did have a good Christmas and lots of fun with the family. But I, for one, am glad that things will be getting back to normal. Well, as normal as things get with Kaia on the prowl, that is.

I've got some fun plans for the new year, and while at this point it seems like I'm never going to get back to picking up my hook to write a new pattern, you can rest assured that there is plenty of cool stuff in the works. For those of you who are extra curious, my plans include:

A pattern for the yeti I made up for last year's Threadknits competition

There's plenty more where that came from too... but I'm starting to overwhelm myself with my own list!

Well, my coffee's almost gone and I'd better go wake up the sleeping beauty so she can get to work playing with all her new Christmas presents. I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas holiday together!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
